Writing Feedback / An extraordinary capacity of creativity can be obtained by having a willing to be wrong [3]

TED sumary Do schools kill creativity? - Sir Ken Robinson

Creativity, recently, is as important in education as literacy. Every child has extraordinary capacity of creativity that can be obtained by having a will to be wrong. It does not mean that being wrong is the same thing as being creative. However, nearly all the schools, nowadays, teach the children how to be good at some subjects such as mathematics and science, not on art. This bears hierarchy in education systems and mainly because the education system was developed to fulfil job and industry demand. But, jobs now need not only high education or intelligence but also creativity.

Based on Ken, there are 3 things people know about intelligence. Firstly, intelligence is diverse, it means that people think in many different ways - in sound, movement, visually. The second is dynamic, intelligence is amazingly interactive. From the interactive brain, original idea comes and leads to the creativity. The third is distinct, it means that people have their own way to do some activities.

Ken recommends people to use their not only intelligences but also imaginations and creativities wisely to face uncertain problems in the future. People should rethink the fundamental principles in educating creativity to the children.

Writing Feedback / Learn Culture from its Language which is the utmost important instrument to communicate with people [3]

Some people think that person can never understand the culture of a country unless they speak the language.
Do you agree with this opinion?

Languages are the important tool to communicate with other people around the world. Some people regard the languages as the only way to understand the culture of a country. There are several reasons why I believe that knowing how people speak in their language is not the predominant way to understand the culture of the nations.

There is no doubt that language is the utmost important instrument to communicate with people. In fact, language, as the identity of country as well as culture, becomes reflection of the culture itself. People can deducing the culture of a nation by comprehending their language. Taking Javanese culture, one of the Indonesian cultures, as an example, the majority Javanese speak calmly and slowly. It can be expected that they have polite and friendly culture. Different to people living in Medan, a city at North Sumatera, they speak much louder than Javanese people and more impolite. It can be indicated that they have strong personality and though culture.

However, there are also another way to apprehend a country culture such as learning their customs or their behaviours. For instance, some Hindi people usually pour milk to their statue, which regards as their God. It reflects that they respect their God with the best material from their environment.

In brief, even though some people have mind-set that speak other country language is the only way to understand the culture of a country, but learning from not only its language but also its customs and behaviours are the best way to comprehend the culture of a nation.
